Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to thank all of you for following along and being supportive of me throughout this project. I plan to do thorough write-ups for all of the climbs so be on the look out for that.

Again, thank you all for the kind words & sometimes not so kind words haha. It means the world. I’m beyond stoked to have finished this thing out with Andrew by my side. What a journey this was!

Cheers,
Chris

Big congrats Chris! Especially this year with all the snow! Such an impressive accomplishment!!!
The summit is a source of power. The long view gives one knowledge and time to prepare. The summit, by virtue of the dizzying exposure, leaves one vulnerable. A bit of confidence and a dash of humility is all we get for our work. Yet to share these moments with friends is to be human. C. Anker

^ "I just wanted to thank all of you for following along and being supportive of me throughout this project."

Enough of this Hap Hap Happy talk.

When are the three of you ( Andrea, Andrew and you ) going to announce a 14er Happy Hour
so I can buy all of you a beer and shake hands with some of the
ALL TIME BAD A-S HEROES of mountain climbing !
(OK maybe mountain skiing! whatever )

P.S. SnowAlien - I would love to buy you a "Shirley Temple" as well
since I know that you are still under age.

Hey guys finally finished my trip report for Pyramid!
https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/triprepo ... trip=22032

Hope you enjoy reading it. It was harder to write than actually just climbing Pyramid. Pyramid really put up a battle to make the finish memorable! I hope we can get something organized to have a happy hour celebration for Chris. And I'm still looking forward to some ski 14ers this spring, hopefully in May.

Hope to see you out in the mountains!

Congratulations on completing the frozen 14ers in a single calendar winter, as well as setting a new fkt. Between your obvious athletic ability and skiing, the times on some of those peaks you set were mind numbing. It was fun to watch from the sidelines.
